Surname Saturday -- LNU (Margaret, wife of William Cheney, England to colonial New England)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.

I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2207 who is Margaret LNU (1605-1686). [Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 9th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through one generation in this LNU family line is:

1. Randall J. Seaver

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)

4. Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)
5. Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962)

8. Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922)
9. Hattie Louise Hildreth (1857-1920)

16. Isaac Seaver (1823-1901)
17. Lucretia Townsend Smith (1827-1884)


34.  Alpheus B. Smith (1802-1840)
35.  Elizabeth Horton Dill (1791-1869)

68.  Aaron Smith (1768-1841)
69.  Mercy Plimpton (1772-1850)

136.  Moses Smith (1732-1806)
137.  Patience Hamant (1735-1780)

274.  Timothy Hamant (1699-1774)
275.  Hephzibah Clark (1699-1791)


550.  Joseph Clark (1664-1731)
551.  Mary Wight (1667-1705)

1102.  Thomas Wight (1629-1690)
1103.  Mehitabel Cheney (1643-1693)

2206.  William Cheney, born before 05 February 1599 in Barrington, Cambridgeshire, England; died 30 June 1667 in Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.  He was the son of 4412. John Cheney and 4413. Elizabeth LNU.  He married about 1623 in England.
2207.  Margaret LNU, born about 1605 in England; died 03 July 1686 in Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of William Cheney and Margaret are:
*  Ellen Cheney (1626-1678), married 1643 Humphrey Johnson (1620-1692).
*  Margaret Cheney (1628-1685), married 1651 Thomas Hastings (1605-1685).
*  Thomas Cheney (1633-1693), married 1656 Jane Atkinson (1635-1724).
*  William Cheney (1637-1681), married 1661 Deborah Wiswall (1641-1681).
*  John Cheney (1639-1671).
Mehitabel Cheney (1643-1693), married 1661 Thomas Wight (1629-1690)
*  Joseph Cheney (1647-1704), married (1) 1668 Hannah Thurston (1650-1690); (2) 1691 Mehitable Plimpton (1655-1725).

The parentage of Margaret LNU is not known.  Some online family trees indicate she may be Margaret Mason (1605-1686), daughter of John and Avis (Richards) Mason.


Information on the William Cheney family was obtained from:

*  Joan S. Guilford , The Ancestry of Dr. J.P. Guilford (Sheridan Psychological Services, Inc., 1990), Volume 1, page 144. 

*  Dean Crawford Smith, edited by Melinde Lutz Sanborn, The Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton, 1878-1908, Part I: The Ancestry of Warren Francis Kempton (1817-1879) (Boston, Mass.: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1996).

I have done no original research on this family line.
